Messrs. McCallun. d. Chon1berLin. Salt
Lake City-GENTLEMEN: l have used one of
your incandescent lamps and have given it
fair trial, l am pleased to say that it has
gone way beyond my expectations. Where
have been using two lamps, your lamp now
takes the place of both and furnishes more
light than both of them put together, with
less expense and trouble.

All the world-that is all the newspaper
reading world-has before this become ia
miliar with the chief features of the history
of the Stewards, their millions and their
friend Henry Hilton. The present suit is not
culiar conditions, or rather lack of conditions,
surrounding the requests of both Mr.. and
Mrs Stewart to Mr. Hilton, but it is I'M
doubtedly the most important one. 1t will
probably be some months before the trial will
he called, and it will be years perhaps before
it is concluded. For, no matter which side
wins the first trial, there is certain
to be an appeal to the general term and from
that to the court of appeals. A New York
lawyer, who is somewhat familiar with the
fees charged in the big city, says the suit will
he one of the most expensive on record A
very moderate estimate of the cost to each
side, he says, will be about as shown here:
First trial, $4,000; appeal to the general
term, $4,000; to the court of appeals, $50, 600
-S55, 900 altogether, or S110, 900 for both sides
***
No more interesting action has been begun
in New York for many years than this one.
Henry Hilton's peculiar course since the
death of Mr. Stewart, his exclusion OF Jews
from his big hotels and bis practical absorb
ton Of the immense dry goods business left
by MIR. Stewart, have made him the subject
of public curiosity for years, and will tend to
largely increase the public sense of proprie-
torship in the present big suit.

Greene, deputy U. s marshal, returned
from Cnur d. Alene Tuesday, where he
has been on official dnty. and reports
that the citizens of Shoshone comfy
have raised purse to send man to
Washington to oppose the annexation
of that county to w. T. Hon. B. F,
Morris also reports great diversity of
sentiment in Kootenai and Shoshone
counties, some wanting to 60 to Nom
tana, others to Washington, and good
majority preferring to remain in old
Idaho. The question will be settled at
the coming session of congress against
annexation, definitely and irrevocaby.
and then the people will be able to give
their time and attention TO work of
practical importance like the opening
of the reservation, the building of the
Salmon river wagon road and other
matters that will be of real benefit to
the country and every body in it. The
people will learn after awhile that the
selfish schemers who foment sectional
strife are not their real friends. Time
will expose their insncerity.
